After contemplating, I entered the inst.i.tute. I was planning to recruit some people to help them and join his journey to defeat the sage emperor. I wanted loyal members who never backstab me. I will watch the students and if anyone caught my eyes, I would check their background and if they are righteous, then I would help them. This might sound like exploiting people when they were weak, but I really wanted to make a group to stand against the sage emperor. Also, I will be showing them the cultivation higher than legend rank, so they can"t complain.I then saw some major characters like Xiao Ning"er, Ye Ziyun, Nie Li, Lu Piao, Shen Yue and others. All were seated on cla.s.s, and some were looking at me. Brus.h.i.+ng those stares, I sat in the third row near the wall and started to meditate forgetting the outside world. The children looking at me had mixed feelings. Girls mostly had a blush in their cheeks, and some had hearts in their eyes. Boys were jealous of him for his looks and the attention, especially Shen Yue. Ye ziyun had a look of curiosity and Xiao Ning"er, well she was slightly startled. Xiao Ning"er was feeling anxiety and nostalgic. She never why but her heart was fluttering but then she became stoic and went back doing her work.
I was on my own thoughts, "What should I do once the plot starts? should I also disrespect Shen Xiu and stand with nie li or act as nothing happened? I do have a problem with sacred family, should I show it as it is? I don"t like Nie li that much as a character but his cause is a n.o.ble one. What should I do? And why did my heart flutter when I saw Xiao Ning"er? It was the same feeling when I see Feng Xiu. How strange".
I was brought out from my thoughts when cla.s.s started. Shen Xiu came to cla.s.s and took note of children present. She was wearing blue Chinese dress with wolf pelt around her neck. She obviously had disdain towards the commoners and a sense of pride towards his cousin Shen yue. She then explained about the demon spirits, demon spiritualist and fighters. Tian who knew all about this knowledge was looking at Nie li, waiting to detect the changes in his soul force.
Suddenly I felt a surge of soul force around Nie Li. I became sensitive to detecting small changes in soul force due to my observation Haki. I then thought "So the plot starts, let"s see how he acts". I saw how Nie li look dazed for few seconds and looked for something checking his body. His expression is of anxiousness, panic and finally relief. He then saw his brothers (not in blood) Lu piao and Du zhe and spoke with them and lu piao saying something like g.a.y.l.o.r.d. He then watched ye ziyun and was in a daze with a hint of love in his look. Ye zhiyun looking at him was somewhat offended and thought he was weird and Shen yue was watching daggers with his eyes at nie li. Nie li watching him snorted.
Third Pov:
Finally, Nie li"s gaze fell on me. Both of them made eye contact with each other. He was perplexed. He did not remember Long Tian that much and his attire was somewhat different from what he has seen in the entire realm. Nie li looked Tian for a while and then returned his thoughts about changes to bring to glory city.
Shen Xiu then explained about her spirit beast scarlet flaming fox beast and transforming to the fox spirit. Children were at awe at that transformation. But after the next few minutes, some felt disgusted about her. She started to preach that not all are equal and some are born to be great and others are cannon fodders for their life. Equality is not suited for real life. This causes some disturbances among the students. Some n.o.ble children were having smug look and some commoners having sad look.
Both Nie li and Long Tian were disgusted by her att.i.tude. Then suddenly Nie li bombarded questions to shen Xiu by asking about people in St. ancestral mountain and other places. When she failed to answer he even mocked her by using the phrase "frog in the well". This caused a few snickers and few furious faces from the n.o.ble side.
Shen Xiu became enraged and started to demoralise him by saying about his soul realm "red soul" and mocked him that he can grow only to the Bronze level for the rest of his life. He again countered it by saying about Lord ye mo, the legend rank demon spiritualist who was commoner and how he came to power. He then challenged the teacher that if he didn"t reach the bronze rank in two months he will quit school and vice versa.
Finally, unable to endure the disrespect to the sacred family, shen Xiu gave punishment to Nie li to stand at the back of the cla.s.s for her entire cla.s.s. Tian watched Nie li went and stood at the back of the cla.s.s. He was followed by Du zhe, Lu piao and some three children.
Tian"s Pov:
Watching them, I made up my mind and went to stand next to the group. Seeing this both teacher and students were stunned. Shen Xiu then asked, "What is the meaning of this Long tian?". I then answered, remembering Sasuke"s dialog to Naruto during the fight with Haku," It"s just that, my body moved on its own". Infuriated by my answer Shen Xiu punished me by making me stand with them for the entire semester.
Since I wanted to infuriate her even more I said, "If I am able to reach gold rank within two months, then you must kowtow to the students for slandering them, If I failed then I will be your slave for the rest of my life. I swear it on my cultivation and my family name. Do you dare to take the challenge?".
The entire cla.s.s became silent. They never thought I would make such a vicious bet. Compared to mine, Nie li"s challenge was better in terms of condition. She would only quit school, but with mine she will drag the sacred family to ground and it won"t be good for her. Shen xiu was livid for such humiliating challenge but nevertheless she accepted it.
Shen Xiu then informed about soul colour of Ye ziyun, Xiao ning"er and Shen yue and about their future aspects. During that time, I introduced myself to fellow members standing next to me, "Hi, My name is Long Tian from Ao family, nice to meet you all.". Others also introduced themselves and spoke about the current scenario and the difficulties of each family.
Nie li was surprised to know about Tian and his achievements. He was slightly wary of him, not because of his fame but because of his memory about Tian. Yet he threw the idea back of his head and spoke to them and shamelessly declared that Ye ziyun will be his(nie li).
Then he spoke about the method to get stronger and since I was rich, Nie li shamelessly asked money from me and I gave him money for the sake of developing young demon spiritualist in glory city. This is how the start for the development of friends.h.i.+p between us.
